Analysis, testing, and redesign of an environmental control system for an engine dynamometer

Creator:

Morris, Taylor H.

Abstract:

This project analyzes, tests, and redesigns an environmental control system for Global Formula Racing’s (GFR) dynamometer. It seeks to develop a working system to test GFR’s car engine under air conditions similar to those faced during competition. A model is developed to predict the performance of the environmental control system,...

Analysis, design, and implementation of a Formula SAE cooling system

Creator:

Theroff, Zachary

Abstract:

This project consists of the analysis, design, and manufacturing of the 2016 cooling system for Global Formula Racing’s combustion vehicle. Several water configurations were examined, using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to estimate airflow and heat transfer calculations in MATLAB to estimate heat rejection through each concept. Data used to perform...

Innovative Rear Wing Design Research for Formula SAE

Creator:

Lukacovic, Kyle S.

Abstract:

The goal of this project is to research an innovative rear wing design for Formula SAE and determine if the concept could be beneficial for automotive racing purposes. The research consists of three steps. First, sensitivity analyses using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation were performed on multiple configurations. Next an...
